Project description

Electrophysiology Manipulator Link

PyPI version Deploy Documentation Pydantic v2 Hatch project Ruff Checked with pyright

The Electrophysiology Manipulator Link (or Ephys Link for short) is a Python Socket.IO server that allows any Socket.IO-compliant application (such as Pinpoint) to communicate with manipulators used in electrophysiology experiments.

Installation

Launch from Pinpoint (Recommended)

Pinpoint comes bundled with the correct version of Ephys Link. If you are using Pinpoint on the same computer your manipulators are connected to, you can launch the server from within Pinpoint. Follow the instructions in the Pinpoint documentation.

Install as Standalone Executable

  1. Download the latest standalone executable or zip from the releases page.
  2. Double-click the executable file to start.

Documentation and More Information

Complete documentation including how to add manipulators and API usage can be found on Ephys Link's Documentation Website.
